I definitely liked it the least of all the Stephenson I've read. He spends lots of time talking about pykrete and bolides and orbital mechanics and robot swarms and space habitats, and in the end it doesn't feel like he spends very much time talking about people.

agreed - interesting story, but many small editing errors, and endless harping on about stuff that doesn't really do anything to drive the narrative forward left me disappointed.

I've never read Stephenson for the characters.
